Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I just don't get much time for anything now-a-days

4 marathons so far this year - 3 maybe 4 more to come ! LMAO :)

Juicer > You should keep tired legs moving as the blood flow will help remove and "bad stuff" from the muscles. This will aid recovery. Just don't push it too hard. I don't really suffer with DOMS to the extend that my legs feel heavy. I always keep moving after races & hard workouts. I walk to & from work (2 miles each way) every day so that helps too as it's pretty much non-impact

Agree with SP.

And of course don't forget compression socks/shorts/tights as well.

What about this 'general aerobic' pace that the endurance phase builds? I see it's described as just 'banging out the miles' pace. I would imagine that's probably near to my current marathon pace, but not my target one.

I recently ran a 4.10 (9.30 m/miles) marathon without training specifically for it (though with lots of endurance training for another longer event). I'm hoping that with targetted training I can get this down to under 4 hours (<9.09m/m). What sort of pace do you think my general aerobic runs should be?

Cheers all, it's like having personal trainers :-)

I take GE to be faster than LSR pace but prob slower than MP. Having said that I often did my GE runs the day after a hard session (due to time contraints) so they tended to be more at LSR pace as I was tierd.

I think next time round, if I dont do the GE the day after the tempo run I will try to do some of the GE at MP to get used to running at MP, so I might do a WU and CD at LSR pace then a MP bit in the middle so the overall average pace wil be between MP and LSRpace, but I felt MP runs were lacking from the schedule so thats why I want to do that
